Gallery Statement

Solomon Projects, Atlanta's critically acclaimed contemporary art gallery is dedicated to new and experimental solo presentations by emerging and mid-career artists working in diverse media. Following its 1994 inception, it has evolved into an elemental part of the community. The gallery attracts inspired, conceptually formidable work. The gallery is a preeminent platform for contemporary art and is among the primary, cutting edge galleries in the southeast. Solomon Projects excites contemplation and dialogue, and engages an audience broad in scope.

Solomon Projects underwent a major renovation in 2001 with architects David Yocum and Brian Bell of the Atlanta firm Bldgs.  The gallery space with it's tall, white-coffered ceilings, skylight and concrete floor supports experimentation, allowing for large scale works and installations. Exhibitions run for five to six weeks and the gallery maintains a complete inventory of work available for acquisition.
